The scene of the crime in London

The incident occurred at just a day after another boy, a 15-year-old, described by neighbours as a "sweet boy," was stabbed to death on the streets of London. The young teen wanted to become a cartoonist and loved riding his mountain bike. Some newspapers reported that for the first time in modern history murders in London exceeded those in New York. The two cities have roughly the same population allowing a relatively easy comparison. 32 teenagers were killed in 2018 in London, with 24 of them stabbed to death. However, Metropolitan Police spokespeople have again stated that “London remains one of the safest cities in the world.”
